“Alou Diarra played well but all the other players are also helping the team to be organised so it looked better.” Guy Luzon on Diarra’s performance.

“We played much better in the second half. We have to be 100 percent from the first minute until the last minute. We won more challenges in the second half, we were higher. It was better. If we play like we did in the second half, we can do well in the next game. We have to learn from our mistakes today”. AD after the match.
